This school runs the "good ol' boy" concept. The science department, consisting of one HS teacher, is very very good! The science teacher truly wants her students to learn, not just have a grade in the gradebook! The math dept. is week. The school is strong in English and Drama. The music department is very strong: boasting a high school mixed choir, swing choir, and band; Students have placed with Star ratings consistently at State contests - The HS Choir was the "ND Governor's Choir"! The Ag dept. is developing well, and is diverse. There is some inconsistency with the HS administrator - but that goes along with the "good ol' boy" troubles that small schools have. The sports teams are coached fairly, and inclusively! It seems that students who want to achieve in sports and the arts are given the opportunities to do so. The school counselor isn't much help, so parents should keep an eye on the courses their child takes... to make sure all of the graduation requirements are being met for scholarships, etc, since the counselor seems to be selective about who he helps. Several parents have decided to move their children to other districts.
